Volume 5, Issue 6

14 March 2005

Edition 5.1 of the TransForm A – Suite for Windows 2000/XP contains the

newly released versions of BCD wall management and driver software.

The Control Room Suite has been renamed to TransForm A – Suite for

Windows 2000/XP.

Release note

TransForm A – Suite for Windows 2000/XP – Edition 5.1

Introduction

The mission of the TRANSFORM A system aspect and its program approach, which comprises

the T

RANSFORM A hardware (i.e. ARGUS, EOS), the driver level software and the wall

management software, is now also reflected in the naming of the respective CD-ROMs: the

Control Room Suite has been renamed to TransForm A – Suite for Windows 2000/XP. (In

unambiguous contexts the reference to Windows and 2000/XP can be omitted).

The issues of the CD’s are referenced sequentially and by year. The current, first issue of the

CD in 2005 is issue 5.1

The TransForm A Suite will always include the T

RANSFORM A System kit, the Windows Driver

Suite, the RC A

GENT, APOLLO, user manuals and third party products.

• T

RANSFORM A System Kit

This integral part of the TransForm A – Suite refers to the Windows operating system.

Service Pack versions, hotfixes, third party drivers, configurations and modifications are

clearly defined and described. The list of installed hotfixes typically represents the actual

status of the recommended hotfixes from Microsoft, at the time when QA for a new edition

starts.

Hotfixes and Service Packs come preinstalled on the system disk. Hotfixes are not

available from the CD, but only from the Microsoft Website. Service Packs typically are

included in the operating system CD, or in exceptional cases on the

TransForm A Suite CD.

• Driver and wall management software

In combination with the T

RANSFORM A System kit and the manuals these products form the

edition of the TransForm A – Suite for Windows, and comprise the Windows Driver Suite,

Barco RC A

GENT and APOLLO wall management software. Installing the respective

components from one CD-ROM edition provides the highest level of interoperability, as

only the respective versions of a released edition have been QA tested on T

RANSFORM A

system level.

Please note:

Using versions from within one edition should always be the first choice for installations!

• User manuals and 3rd party products

Documentation is always provided in PDF format. To view and print Adobe Portable

Document Format (PDF), the CD-ROM will always include a version of the Acrobat Reader.
